Cool new updating websites

Pitchfork update the shortlisted content on a rolling basis, but they only update the overall winners every few weeks.

If you prefer mainstream music, head to the official Billboard website.

The site grew out of the embers of the now-defunct Music-Alerts.com, but it’s far more powerful than its predecessor ever was.

Simply put, it lets you upload your i Tunes XML file, then emails you a list of all the new releases it thinks you will be interested in.

Unfortunately, at the time of writing, the site only supports i Tunes.

Each record has a link to an Amazon listing, but there is no native way to preview the content.However, the new music section is in a class of its own.The section is split into three distinct areas: “Featured New Releases,” “All New Releases,” and “Editor’s Choice.” You can filter each section by release date, genre, and record label.You’ll also find some novelty charts, including MLB batters’ walk-up songs and themed content for Christmas, and other holidays besides.If searching through endless lists just to find a new release you appreciate sounds like too much work, you need to check out Beathound.
